Taking a page from Third Man Records, tomorrow there will be a Beatles double decker record bus making the rounds in Los Angeles and New York offering both the newly remastered vinyl box set as well as individual vinyl LPs. Sadly, Capitol Records is still not committing to individual mono releases (only a deluxe box set in 2013) even though The Beatles themselves preferred mono to stereo and never attended the stereo mixes.

But at least the vinyl reissues are much closer to the original sound than the remastered cds. The music might get clearer and punchier, but it couldn't sound any fresher. Start with Please Please Me and work your way through the 60s.
